    "Wow. That's a shock. It's like being told Santa Claus isn't real." --Simon Cowell

    The 'American Idol' judge laid the sarcasm on pretty think when asked to comment on Clay Aiken coming out of the closet.

    Surely, you can talk about Simon's snide behavior all day (because Iknow that'll be a part focus), but you got to admit that's exactly what we all were thinking when Clay admitted he was gay, right?

    I agree. The Santa Clause thing was pretty close to my own thoughts.

    Lol I agree with BlackSunshine...was anyone actually surprised to find out that Clay Aiken is gay? To be honest, I thought he came out a couple years ago, I actually didn't know it was still a mystery at all to the public lol.

    You fucking stupid ass... I wonder how this country can be so messed up.. and in such a state of severe finacial and educational issue.. then some dumb fuck like you says something like this.. Clay A. is Gay big woop.. clearly this is not breaking down the country or destroying the family base of this our US of A.. but we are now and have been the most undereducated country and now we are not welcome in any other country.. thanks to Greed, selfishness and the idea that WE deserve Anything and Everything.. Then some stupid pricks that are filled with hate and only hate. come up with this crap.. Go to school.. you might find that being gay is not your idea of fun.. but it has been around from day 1.. and at one time Ruled.. Look up " The Greeks and the Romans " History will tell you.. You backwoods sister fucking hick.. And I can't stand Clay.. He's clearly a TWIT... BUT YOUR CLEARLY A TWAT..

    Spot on! And BTW, it's about time that we as a people stop using the word "gay" for this perverse lifestyle. These people are "homosexuals"! I wonder if Clay tells his Grandparents that he like to put a man's penis in his mouth. Great conversation at the Christmas table. I'm sure they are proud of him.

    you mook.. if homosexuality was "A CHOICE".. everyone would be straight.. go do some research and get your facts "straight..." it has been scientifically proven in brain studies about the predisposition of homo and hetero sexuality.

    open your mind and educate yourself before spouting off such narrow-minded crap.

    and as far as gays ruining this country and it's morales... it's the gays adopting the breeders abandoned kids, if we were all hetero.. think about how even more bad off and over populated this country would be? believe it or not... gays bring a balance in a way to upheaval and problems in this country, one example i just gave, adopting breeder's abandoned babies, open your minds, gays have been around since stone age, biblical times, etc.... there are far more larger things in this country ruining this country then gays... let's start with Bush!

    I don't agree with nmwlpi's hateful comments but the rest of you ppl who think being gay is not a choice, YOU SHOULD READ MORE. Studies have been done on ppl who have already made the decision to be gay. There is no genetic predispositon to being a homosexual...this is not a disease. There are no biological studies done on babies where it has been shown that the child be gay in his/her adult life. GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER PEOPLE. Being gay is a choice whether you like it or not.....

    Your insulting remarks only show how ignorant some of you people really are. You need a lot more education on the subject. Anyway, as long as they love each other; who cares what sex people are. Most heterosexual couples are together as long as gay couples. They also have more class, taste, and talent than straight people. This is coming from a grandmother of 16; who has many gay and lesbian friends of whom I think the world of. God bless you all.

    You are living proof of Darwins theory of Evolution except a chimp has a greater capacity to communicate and be educated. But then you might be part of Sarah Palin's delusional and imbecilic belief in Creationism. Look the Messiah returned in her lifetime and it's a black man Obama. Tell me when you see Jesus who by the way was doing more with the Apostles then talking. Life like sexuality is fluid. The Truth is we are all bisexual and I think the Lady doth prrotest too much
